1 One mole of an ideal gas (PV=RT) with cv = 1.5R J/mole and cp = 2.5 R J/mole, in the initial state T-273 K and P=1 atm, is subjected to the following processes, each of which is conducted reversibly: a. b. c. A doubling of its volume at constant pressure Then a doubling of its pressure at constant volume Then a return to the initial state along the path P-a V²+b, where a and b are constant. Calculate the heat and work effects which occur during each of the three processes.
